UNDERSTANDING JUSTICE, EQUITY, DIVERSITY AND INCLUSION

Noticing inequities and disparities is critical to doing environmental work. Gaining a greater awareness of historical and systemic inequities - along with understanding our own personal biases, privileges and power - will move us closer to greater equity and justice. Members and Supervisors are encouraged to read more about equity and inclusion here.

SITE REPORT OVERVIEW

In collaboration with Project Supervisors, the Program Director sets numeric goals (metrics) for AmeriCorps Members to achieve during their Term of Service. These goals are called "performance measures". Three times per term, Members will organize and submit a Site Report to the Program Director using the tools and resources below.

TOOLS + RESOURCES

Confluence is invested in expanding the capacity of environmental programs to serve communities that are untapped and under resourced. Members and Supervisors research and develop meaningful, sustainable, mutually beneficial relationships in schools and communities that show high concentrations of people of color and people with low income. Think about the schools and communities that are most burdened by not having access to funding, resources and services - this is where you want to be. Here are some tools to help.

EVENT TABLING

Explore our Demographic Toolkit developed in partnership with the Center for Diversity and the Environment. Members can also develop a different strategy, just as long as you are working to assess who is (and who is NOT) attending your activities.

Community Mapping - Print and display a map at the welcome/registration table and have pins available for people to share where they live. Consider placing a local volunteer here to make it more interactive. Research and analyze neighborhood demographics after the event to learn more about who has been served.
